We're calling it: Lavender is the It color of 2018. Sorry millennial pink, but with pale purple appearances on Spring '18 runways from Tom Ford, Tibi, and Victoria Beckham (to name a few), it's hard to ignore the pastel-adjacent takeover. Lavender even has the Rihanna seal of approval, along with Black Panther lead Lupita Nyong'o and Grown-ish rising star Yara Shahidi rocking lilac gowns on the red carpet in full support of the lilac hue. What's not to love about a universally flattering shade that looks good with just about anything, with your favorite denim or a bold orange lip. If you're not ready to take on loud ultra-violet, then these lavender pieces are your in to one of 2018's top statement trends. Shop our fave lilac finds from athleisure essentials and spring maxi dresses all the way to standout shoes and boxy suit jackets.

Take full advantage of the cropped pants trend and pair yours with some killer heels. This chic pairing will work whether you're looking for an outfit for your 9 to 5, a stylish but casual weekend look, or a formal alternative to your LBD!

The low ponytail is really trendy this season. I spotted my favorite style to rock this fall on the runway of the Moschino fall/winter 2013 show. This hairstyle is retro, but still modern, with a 1960s feeling to it. It's a polished and feminine look that is easy to recreate with these simple steps below.

We all want an outfit that is super trendy, but still feels comfy and casual. Whitney Port seems to have nailed a look that you'll definitely want to copy. We're applauding her easy style and you will be, too.

Big, messy braids were all over the NYFW runway this year; so much so that they spilled over into music festivals, street style, and even casual weddings! While getting the perfect messy braid is often easier said than done, this voluminous mermaid braid is the exception to the rule.

Want to make the most out of your spring cleaning sesh? Transform an old pair of jeans into sweet floral pants. The pattern calls for basic shapes and lines, so you don't need fancy painting skills. It's a charming way to make a statement this spring.

Braids and curls give any hairstyle a romantic, feminine feeling, and this Dutch lace braid half-updo is no exception! You can wear it with a casual outfit to add a bit of glamour, or wear it with a dress to look feminine and chic.

On a scale of one to classy, gold jewelry lands at effortlessly elegant. Slip on a few gold bangles or don a set of stacked gold rings to take your look from everyday casual to sophisticated chic in seconds.
